Since it is a number of ace infantry battalions of the 2nd Provisional Division, the equipment of the 1st Battalion can be said to be the strongest in the entire Temporary 2nd Division, although each infantry company is only equipped with two light machine guns and no heavy machine guns, but an ordinary infantry battalion should have been directly subordinate to a firepower platoon in the 1st Battalion, which can become a fire company with a full 6 heavy machine guns.

Although two were missing from the previous battle, the four heavy machine guns were just as fearsome. Moreover, in order for them to block the doomed onslaught of the Japanese army, the lieutenant general specially transferred a mortar platoon from the mortar company directly under the regimental headquarters of the 1st Regiment, which was two 82 mortars.

Although this kind of firepower cannot be compared with an infantry brigade of the Japanese army, it is by no means without the strength to fight back, otherwise it would not be able to block the six rounds of fierce attacks of two half-crippled infantry brigades.

The two mortars also dealt a big blow to the heavy machine gun squadrons of the two infantry brigades under the command of Kasahara River, even if it was a blind bombing at night, they also blew up two heavy machine guns, forcing them to move the heavy machine gun position back by at least 300 meters.

As for the fact that the Chinese defenders had heavy machine guns and mortars, it seemed that Li Shoushan didn't ask, and Kasahara naturally pretended to forget to say it.

In the early hours of the morning, the 6th Infantry Brigade under his command also fought with the bastards of the Manchurian Infantry Brigade in front of him, and hundreds of people died in the melee, it was not bad that he didn't rush to kill this group of bastards, and he was expected to provide information about the opponent and do his Li Shoushan's big dream of Spring and Autumn Festival!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

"Boom, boom, boom!"

So, just as the heavy machine guns under Li Shoushan's command were firing, and the infantry stepped on the hillside for a distance of dozens of meters, and before they could enter the last 200 meters of charge, several muffled sounds suddenly sounded overhead, followed by the harsh sound of shells cutting through the air.

Then came the explosion of shells.

The shells were not aimed at the infantry, but at the moment when the flames rose into the sky, the face of Li Shoushan reflected was simply difficult to see.

Initial website: m.

The Japanese on dog days, is this a deliberate pit of Lao Tzu? The Chinese even carried mortars, but did not warn.

Anyway, he didn't believe that in the face of the Japanese attack in last night's offensive and defensive battle, the Chinese could still hide this thing.

The mortars naturally went to the heavy machine-gun positions placed on the two flanks 800 meters away, and after observing for a while, they finally determined the orientation, and the two mortar squads opened fire cautiously.

Because they had to march long distances, they didn't have many shells with them, a total of 30 shells per gun, 10 of which had been used up in last night's battle, and the remaining 20 rounds per cannon had to be used on the blade.

The Type 92 heavy machine gun used by the puppet army for fire suppression is a key target that must be eliminated.

The first two shells are basically test guns, and the rangefinder equipped with a telescope then calibrates the elevation angle of the mortar according to the target found and the impact point.

No matter how distressed the shells were, once the artillery was fired, the two artillery squads fought very resolutely, bombarding one cannon after another, frightening the heavy machine gunners on the heavy machine gun position to drop the heavy machine guns and run away.

As for running with a crane gun, what are you kidding, plus a tripod and a heavy machine gun weighing 55 kilograms, you can carry Lao Tzu to run? Don't look at the heavy machine gun fire of the Chinese defenders named by the Japanese infantry artillery, once they encounter mortar shelling, they are actually very melancholy under the same crotch.

And although the mortar is not as destructive as the direct-aim gun of the infantry artillery, it also has its advantages, that is, it is not afraid of trenches, and those who fall from the sky are afraid of any trenches, and they will be finished if they fall down and then bloom.

The two mortars fired eight shots each, three heavy machine guns were blown into twists, and a four-person heavy machine gun fire team subconsciously hid behind a rock because it ran too fast, but unfortunately it was exploded less than 3 meters behind it by an inaccurate mortar, and the four people were collectively blown up into a string of blood gourds.

The heavy machine gun was left in place, but the main shooter, along with the secondary shooter and the ammunition man, met with Lord Yama, and the heavy machine gun was basically dumb fire.

There is a specialization in the art industry, but don't think that heavy machine guns can be fought by one person, and you don't know how many bullets it takes to train a machine gun shooter, and even to load a 30-round bullet plate, you have to go through training.

Of course, when it comes to the 30-round ammunition plate of the 92 heavy machine gun equipped by the Japanese infantry, it may not be as strong as the continuous firepower of the canvas chain of the Makqin heavy machine gun equipped by the Chinese infantry at that time, but in fact, this has something to do with the different tactical choices of the two armies.

The heavy firepower of the Japanese army has mountain artillery, infantry artillery, and grenadiers as a supplement, in fact, it is not very important to the continuous fire suppression of heavy machine guns, especially the national character determines everything, you let him pull the trigger and scatter the bullets like raindrops, from top to bottom, I am afraid that he will not be killed by the bullet, and he will be distressed to death, this kind of 30-round bullet board has become the best choice.

And what about the Chinese army! There is no heavy firepower, the heavy machine gun has become the most reliable infantry patron, and continuous firepower has become a must, but the canvas cartridge belt is prone to deformation and decay, and the Makqin is water-cooled, which is greatly worse when encountering a lack of water, and there are many shortcomings.

As for the metal cartridge belt, it can only be hehe, China has no money to equip that thing, and the Japanese are reluctant.

However, at this time, four heavy machine gun fire teams were smashed in one go, but Li Shoushan's face turned green with anger. If you want to retaliate by shelling those two positions that are emitting thick gunsmoke, you can only think about it.

Although the infantry artillery can do a certain degree of curved artillery shelling, it does not mean that it can really replace mortars and mountain artillery, and the location of the two mortar squads is exquisite, which belongs to the depression on the hillside, and also deliberately built a half-person high sandbag fortification in front of the entire mortar squad to block the entire mortar squad firmly.

Of course, the reason why they are so fearless is naturally the result of knowing that the Japanese army and the puppet army have no mountain artillery available at this time.

Li Shoushan gritted his back molars, but after watching the futile shelling of the infantry artillery, the opponent still calmly finished the shells and killed half of his heavy machine gun fire team and was helpless.

In a fit of rage, he could only order his signal corps to raise flags in front of him, urging the frightened infantry on the hillside to continue the attack.

The mortar power of the Chinese defenders reminded him of an extremely terrible thing, it seemed that the Chinese had robbed an unknown number of mountain guns, and if they fired at the hillside, it would be fatal.

Then, a piercing whistling sound came from above his head, and before Li Shoushan could react, several fires exploded on the hillside in a row.

Li Shoushan looked back at the direction of Luo Wenyu Pass in a daze, and couldn't wait to slap himself a few mouths.

He's fine, what do you want to do?

Well, the Chinese here have not yet come out with artillery, and the Chinese defenders five kilometers away have come over first to join in the fun.

On the position at the Luo Wenyu Pass, the lieutenant general of the army listened to the sound of an explosion that had become very weak in the distance, and his face was grim, "Tell the mountain artillery company, according to the shelling coordinates provided in Liu Lang's telegram, each cannon will give me enough 10 rounds, don't give Lao Tzu distressed shells, where are Lao Tzu's soldiers!" ”

Maybe for this person, he has already lost his money, and no matter how much he loses, it is not a painful thing.

But for the puppet army on the hillside, which was still three or four hundred meters away from the position on the top of the mountain, these dozens of shells smashed over, not because they lost money, but because they were killed.
